I was looking up the NCAA banned substances and they don't feature a full list only examples of substances in categories, thanks for any feedback

Drop the Dark Matter. It contains Glycerol Monostearate (GMS) which is banned by the NCAA. It is classified as a diuretic. I have no idea how much GMS is in Dark Matter, or how much GMS it takes to fail an NCAA drug test, but I wouldn't risk it.

Caffeine is restricted, not banned. I read somewhere that it would take about 6 cups of coffee in an hour to have enough caffeine in your body to fail an NCAA drug test. White Flood doesn't have near that much caffeine. It is fine.

if your an NCAA athlete just ask your trainer
they may try to discourage you from taking something, but they do not have the final say in what you do, they should just simply tell you what in each substance is banned

To be honest most strength coaches wouldn't know the full list of banned substances. The NCAA doesn't send out email/mail notices, they simply post it on a website and expect coaches and athletes to seek out the information (which most do not do).

this
all you have to do is bring the trainers the label where it shows everything in it
and a lot of the time they will tell you it has a banned substance, but not enough to fail a drug test, I found this out with a few sups

Problem is most ATC's don't take the time to read. So they tell you to avoid supps even though there is nothing wrong with them. They just go by the philosophy that taking nothing is better than taking anything.

So it is typically best to do the research on your own.

The NCAA will not let you play if you fail a test and blame your ATC for telling you it was ok. They will still not let you play and you will have wished you checked it on your own.

Caffeine
-Restricted, NOT BANNED
-A single serving of most preworkouts do not contain enough caffeine to cause you to fail a drug test
-Caffeine concentrations at or above 15mcg/ml in urine will cause a failed NCAA drug test

fair enough. if i come across supps that people might use I will look them up and put them up here

I mean, if you have a question about whether a supp is good to go or not that's fine, ask away; but just don't throw out a list of supps and possibly give someone the wrong idea about it. Know what I'm sayin?

C4 Extreme has 1,3-D in it.

ya i get it. i didnt know if u just couldnt think of more or have more in mind and were taking your time

Yet again thanks, looks like im returning my DM to bb.com in exchange for something that won't + me on a test. I was already aware of the 1,3 dimeth being banned but to be honest i never liked 1,3's effects anyways. As strict as the NCAA is you think that it would set a clearer list of banned supplements, or in a perfect world a full list of banned ingredients. I don't mind looking to see if the individual ingredients in my supps are banned, it just becomes more complicated when i don't have any information on whether a majority of the ingredients in supps i take are banned or not...
